Resource sector specialists
We’re invested in Australia’s resource sector
We believe in Australia’s resource sector and its people. We invest in the businesses that make it happen, this includes the mining companies that employ so many Australians and contribute to our country’s ongoing prosperity. We also offer services and solutions that take into account the lifestyle and circumstances of employees working in mining and resources.
Member benefits
Super that’s made to benefit you
Resource Super members enjoy benefits that take into account the realities of working in the mining and resource sector. That includes onsite educational sessions, ongoing member support and often the potential for higher levels of insurance cover working in what is perceived as a high-risk environment.
GoalTracker®
Investing for you
Resource Super’s MySuper investment option is GoalTracker®. This is also the default investment option for members who don’t make an investment choice.
This option creates a diversified investment strategy across a range of asset classes and sectors (including the resource sector), based on your age.
When you’re younger, your investment strategy will have a higher allocation to growth assets to help grow your super balance. As you approach retirement, it will increase your allocation to defensive assets to help protect your savings.

Here when you need us
We know gruelling swings, long hours and remote locations don’t always lend themselves to traditional customer service. So we’re committed to being available when other super providers aren’t.

Resource Super FAQs
Discover the answers to some of the most common questions people ask us. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can contact us directly via our contact form or at info@resourcesuper.com.au
Click ‘Join Resource Super’ at the top of the page. We’ll ask you to complete a short application, which includes the details of your existing super fund(s).
Before you combine your super, you should find out about any entitlements or insurance cover that might stop when you close your other account/s.
If you already have an account with Resource Super and you want your new employer to start paying the employer super contributions into this account, it’s super easy.
When your employer provides you with an ATO Standard Choice Form, you can complete it by adding our fund details and your account details.
Continuing with Resource Super may also mean you don’t have to go through any underwriting to get insurance cover (which may be a requirement when joining a new super fund).
You may be eligible for automatic insurance that is aligned to the industry you work in when you join Resource Super through an employer. You can also apply for insurance cover if you switch to us as an individual.
We also understand you may wish to keep your current level of insurance through another super fund when you switch. We can assist with an insurance transfer to your Resource Super account.
You can also maintain your insurance in your existing account. However, if you stop making contributions to your super fund or reduce your balance does not meet the required premium, your insurance cover may cease. So, if you want to keep your current insurance cover in place when switching to us, make sure you contact your current super provider so you comply with their minimum requirements for ongoing coverage.
Insurance fees, that are not paid by your employer, may erode your retirement benefit. You should consider whether you hold similar insurance cover elsewhere, either within another fund or outside super, and the impact of holding multiple insurance covers (such as duplicate insurance fees, over protection, or Income Protection policies offsetting so only one of the policies will payout).
